What is an electric bike?
Electric bikes (also known as e-bikes and electric assist bikes) are bicycles that amplify your pedaling power thanks to an electric drive system that helps propel you forward. E-bikes can look just like a traditional bike with similar shapes, construction, and features, but in additional to the shifters, brakes, and handlebars you would find on a regular bike, electric bikes pack in a motor, battery, and typically a controller that lets you choose how much power the system provides. There are e-bikes made for all kinds of riding, from rugged mountain trails to bike paths and open roads, so no matter where you roll, there’s an electric bike ready to take you there.
